In a recent interview with “Extra,” Kay, who married Phil at age of 16, told reporter Maria Menounos that Phil had about 10 hard years and experienced troubles in their marriage.

“He didn’t act nice like he does now, especially when he was drinking. He was real selfish and didn’t want to be responsible,” Kay added. She once confessed that this period was the lowest time of her whole life.

Phil explained that it was because "there was no Jesus" at that time. “I was following the ways of the world. I was raised in the ’60s,” he added.

Phil then told Maria Menounos that there is a special note which plays a very important role in their marriage. Theblaze noticed that this note was written long ago when his wife asked him if he loved her.

"She stood over me and said. ‘Do you love me?’ and I said yes and she said, ‘Write it down.’ So I scribbled, ‘Miss Kay, I love you. I always have and I always will,' Phil described.

This note is still kept on their bedroom headboard as a daily reminder.
